The Florence Center for Data Science hosts a dissemination feature consisting in brief interviews with our D2 Seminar speakers. We are asking few questions to the experts to explain what their research is about, this format can be seen as an extended version of the Q&A session.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to promote a public understanding of science and to reach the readers who may be interested in knowing more about the different fields in which data are involved.<\/p>\n
